Fix the chrome install issue

[microbemarsh]

My machines never ran into the issues here #422 but it does make sense that others might have issue with that and I felt partially responsible to help. In plot.py I swapped out kaleido.get_chrome_sync() for pio.get_chrome() which I believe will install chrome in the user conda env (added some error warnings just in case). Minimal test performed and all the output files expected were seen.

@lsterck I hope this is able to fix your issue as I wasn't able to replicate it fully :/

Hi @microbemarsh

thanks for picking up on this!
I personally also don't have any issues installing it on local servers (well, I was able to add a fix for the issue on our local servers ;-) ) but the issue is mainly when deploying via conda in a galaxy context, where the conda-env is more restrictive I understood and I, for obvious reasons, can't do what I did with my local fix.

Thanks @microbemarsh! Hope this fixes the issue that @lsterck encountered, do let us know if problems persist!
(now available as v1.46.1)

[lsterck]

Great , thanks both !

my local test using the conda install does seem to pass now indeed (while failing before on the reported issue)
I do get this in the stderr though:

"WARNING\troot:plot.py:()- Plotly could not fetch or find Chrome automatically. Static exports may fail unless BROWSER_PATH is set. Details: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/choreographer/cli/browser_exe'

Is that something to worry about? or that I can/should amend?
Or can I safely ignore if no static images are requested?

[wdecoster]

Well... let us know :-D

[lsterck]

seems to be fine.
thanks!
